Bullets that sfusd high schoolers, 46 are riding muni to school and 63 from school so more there are more High School Students who are using muni to get home and we can imagine why, parents at work and the like, and so commissioner fewer you mentioned that the mta provides some Important Services for students, but in turn its important for the Transportation System as a whole to have our students choosing a sustainable mode of transportation, be it walking or taking muni for the Transportation System to work so we recognize that as well and we think both free muni for youth and all of the programs we can encourage the youth of sustainable forms of transportation is very important to the city as a whole so i will stop there and i would like to turn it over to julie to talk you through the next section.
